Re: [IRCA] XETRA transmitters site

[Charles A & Leonor L Taylor <calltaylor@xxxxxxx>]

Scott,

Not budging. There is a probability that there's a barrio named Rosalito, 
or a neighboring municipality. A barrio has no legal existance. A 
municipality does, but on a geographical scale is about equal to a county. 
An atlas of México¹ may not show a
municipality since it is not a pin-point on a map.
   [ ¹ How do you like that accent mark on "México?" Ain't I great? I'll 
let you lick my boots]

Boy, Yahoo had better show that superscript " ¹ " or I'm gonna knock snot.

Here's a fact for you to ponder and lose sleep over. All other 
Spanish-speaking countries refer to the inhabitants of México as
"mejicanos."  Usually refer to the country as it is spelled down there.

Mexicans frequently refer to our state of California as "Alta California" I 
think that name has carried over from the Spanish colonial years when that 
was the official name of California. There is an anti-American edge to that 
usage.

See the correspondence? Baja California/Alta California (Lower 
California/Upper California).

Threw that stuff in. Mighty OT, but it's stuff I learned along the way. I 
have a long love/hate relationship with Mexico. Years ago, the Spanish 
taught in HS was Mexican Spanish.

Better stifle myself before I go way overboard.
